Sonic Diver Infinity
It's external appearance mostly remain unchanged, however, it's internal system had undergo massive overhaul thanks to the technology shared by I.S. academy. Field projector and Passive Inertia Canceler had been applied to increase it's defense capability, while at the same time improving it's mobility to a whole new level. Reduced dependence and advanced nanomachine preservation system allow for tripled operation time as well as nanosuit recycling, reducing flight-hour cost to a quarter of the original model.

T-301D2 Vic Viper Mk.II
Is built by applying Vic Viper spare parts to outsized Sonic Diver/Infinite Stratos hybrid frame, allowing similar transformation to it's smaller brethren (Humanoid A-Mode and birdlike G-Mode). Possessing stronger defensive measure and higher mobility than that of original viper, it nevertheless came with a drawback, such as relative high maintenance cost, increased weight, and weaker firepower.

I don't really get this part except for the first part which sounds like:
"Don't look down at the corpses you need to step on to get where you are."

May be it is just me.... sometime when you go poetic, I don't get it.

Sorry for that.

The last few statement is fine though, about making better units to best each other out of pride.

Its fine

I might need to come up with something better later... Then again, the reason why you don't look down is because when it comes to the IS, you seek to do something different than merely making a war machine like the others, something that's not what the IS is intended for in the context of the status quo.

@stratos: "I'm no hero. I didn't care about anything when I fought. I just wanted to see tomorrow and forget yesterday. I couldn't even see today. When the next day comes, the process repeats and I'm faced with this meaningless cycle."--

Depends on who's saying that though... Not even the villian of the story goes out fighting without an ulterior aim.

It does smell like a wee bit like angst at a distance. Can't say much but I'd think there's definitely some tragic elements there.

Finally done marathon-ing SAO. My my, it's quite intense towards the end... What's the worst damage that can be inflicted if a sixteen year-old punches someone in the face with armor-padded knuckles?

By "armor-padded" I mean titanium-alloy armor-padded.

I'll have to read again for that. Only thing I could gather is that she's so responsible that she's willing to put herself in harm's way, with only an IS-scaled weapon, to protect the Silver Gospel from Madoka(Who was in an IS during then).

I have some things in mind with her. The main problem I have with her is her exact age. It's stated that she's in her 20s, and if it turns out that she's 21-22 years of age, then I think I can go on with that. 23 might be really pushing it...

Missed it at first glance, but I took another look. If I read it right, is that what they'll get once the Silverbacks... evolve or so?

Point of reference to anyone writing a drinking scene without having ever drunk... Sake burns in your stomach and not in your throat. Not sure if it's sweet sake or normal sake but it goes down like juice until it reaches the back of your throat. There it ignites until it feels like a rock dropped down into your gut...

Western alcohol goes into your mouth either burning hot or burning cold. Either way it's refreshing sort of aquired taste and sensation. The bitterness accents subtle sweetness and flavors while it goes down smoothly through the throat onwards. The burning generally stops at the lungs but can drop at the stomach it you drink suddenly or attempt a bottom's up. The satisfying sigh after such heavy drinking is both the gasp for air and the need to alleviate the fumes of alcohol overcoming one's senses.

If I had to compare, wibnes and brandy feel like getting punched in the head, or gut depending whether you drink calmly or hurriedly. Sake is just full on body blows.
